Spend a Day on the Island of Capri

Capri is a great place to go for the day if you ever find yourself in Italy.

Nov 28, 2016

Capri is a wonderful island located off the south of Italy about a 45 minute boat ride from Naples. I had the opportunity to visit Capri over vacation last summer and really enjoyed the time I spent there. My day in Capri started with a boat ride around the island to look at the amazing landscape. The island is very rugged with cliffs that jut out to the sea and houses of the rich and famous sitting on top. The ocean was so blue and the day I happened to be there was the Fourth of July. Ironically one of the best Fourth of Julys that I've had was not spent in America.

There are two little towns on the island of Capri - Capri and Anacapri. I never went to Anacapri, but it's more low-key as it's on the other side of the island that is less inhabited. We took the cable car up to the top of the island where we walked around the narrow streets lined with expensive clothing shops. We walked up to a terrace that overlooked the sea and had a spectacular view. Capri is also a popular place for the production of perfumes and fragrances so there are many shop workers offering samples of the fragrances on the side of the streets. Being a very hot and sunny day on the island, it was nice to sit in the shade and sip on a lemon flavored slushy while watching the other tourists go by.

We wrapped our day up by enjoying the best caprese sandwich I've ever had and swimming in the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent on Capri and if you ever have the opportunity to go there, I would recommend it. I would also recommend checking out the other side of the island and Anacapri, which I was not able to visit.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
